All I can say is HOLY SH!T.

I was in the local music store today playing dream guitars.
Custom PRS, couple Gibsons, etc.

I brings me a cord and hooks me up to their foot switch board.
I inform him I havent a clue what most of them do other than distortion, reverb, and the obvious ones. He says just mess around with them and dont blow up his Marshall stack.
(I did learn real quick to check the level the switch is set on before clicking over to it)

Flanger, Shifters, and Waw where my top three for making stuff sound crazy cool.
(even the wife chimed in when I was messing with the Waw and all the stuff it did.
Flanger she also like for picking.

To those veterans I am sure all these are common but for me it was crazy fun.
The owner brought over an Epiphone Custom Shop Prochecy EM2 ... I like this guitar a lot with the D neck, fast action and shape. (The quilted blue top wasnt bad either)

Found one Website that had them for $299 or Blemished for $239. I would have to know how bad them Blem was first though.

Hard to say. It could have a mark or scratch on it some where or it could be flawless. Lots of times the blemished/scratch and dents are returns. Someone buys it new, uses it once, and then returns it. I've bought several pieces of equipment like this before that have arrived with no marks what so ever.

Guess you'll have to decide if $60 is worth a roll of the dice. ;)

Bitchin guitar btw! Does it have emg's for pickups?

EpiActive Humbucking Pickups
The Prophecy EM-2 Custom FX wears Epiphone's new EpiActive humbuckers in both the neck and bridge position which work together to deliver this guitar's sharp attack, and singing sustain. Plus, unlike most active pickups, these EpiActives can also be used in passive mode to provide a traditional output without the need for any battery.
